it will lead to a condition called "loss of compression", which means the ring can no longer maintain pressure above the piston, because it's no longer sealing the top from the bottom of the piston. you'll feel loss of power, which will eventually lead to you being unable to start the bike at all. get it changed ASAP.Originally posted by Hitakogi:My pistol Ring wear out liao,
Any rider exp hat b4?
how much do u spend in servicing that?
if dun service it,would it break down or not?
my bike nowadays giv me weird sound i close throttle,
how huh?
worn out/loose rings can damage the block? wah... didn't know top-end servicing would cost that much. gaskets are quite cheap right? can a loose piston ring cause a seizure?Originally posted by GAME OVER:Piston ring cost $28(if i never remember wrongly)... If u want to change piston ring than i would advice u to service yr block as well... They've to open the engine up anyway... So might as well do a full service... When u change yr piston ring, they'll have to replace yr casket as well... It'll cost u a few hundred bucks but if u love yr bike than dun save this type of $$$... Save some $$$ might lead u to spend more $$$ than what u can save... Think twice!
